10 Things

1: Seeing your friend's name in print in the new Scrap365 magazine is worth the cover price alone. Not to mention, really cool.

2: Living in your country's capital city does not guarantee easy access to scrapbook stores. In fact, in the case of London, the opposite is true.

3: Using bleach on a project is scary, but well worth the end result.

4: Ordering a kit direct from the USA means it may not arrive before Christmas; this is not ideal when you want it for your Christmas project.

5: Liquid ink can go an awfully long way.
6: Poking a needle down your thumb nail really, really hurts.
7: A paper piercer is a good investment.
8: If you're going to faff with a paper piercer, then you might as well actually sew.

9: Pleating cardstock is much easier if you scrunch it up first and then fold it over and under.

10: Just because some of the mums at school are American and Australian does not automatically mean that they scrapbook; this is disappointing.

I am most disappointed that the Australian contingent doesn't scrap ... I mean really, what rock is she under?! ;-)If magazine availability in newsagents is any indication, then I am not surprised that there aren't many of us out there .... they are hard to come by down here, even CK these days.

I love your layouts, they are so cute! I wish I was the American mum at your children's school....I would love to be your fellow scrapbook friend! Cute list...you made me giggle with the paper piercer. I've so done that myself. ;)

This is a fun list of 10, Ruth! I had to smile at your #10 about American and Autralian scrapbookers. The majority of women I know here in the US are NOT scrappers. Wish we lived closer - I'd definitely scrap with you!!! ♥
